Solutions for machining, fabrication and molding shops
Shops run CNC machines, injection presses and stamping presses of many brands and ages. Uptrol provides consistent machine-run data, condition monitoring of critical equipment and energy figures.
Industry challenges
- Machines of many brands and generations; old machines have no communication port.
- Mold and fixture changeovers are long but never measured.
- Spindle or hydraulic pump failures cause long stoppages and costly repairs.
- Presses and furnaces use a lot of electricity.
How Uptrol helps
- 01
Machine-run data
Read the controller where a port exists; old machines use current sensors and stack-light signals.
- 02
OEE and changeovers
Measure mold and fixture changeover time; Pareto of stop reasons per machine.
- 03
Condition monitoring
Vibration and temperature for spindles, hydraulic pumps, compressors.
- 04
Energy
Energy per machine and per part for presses and furnaces.
Typical deployments
Run, stop, idle per machine
Old machines included, through added sensors.
Efficiency per machine and part
Ideal cycle time per part number and mold.
Spindle and pump vibration
Early warnings from trends.
Press and furnace energy
Per shift, per part, per tariff period.
Shot count per mold
Mold maintenance reminders by shot or stroke count.
Camera inspection
Burrs, short shots, dimension errors where suitable.
A good fit for
- CNC machining, injection molding, stamping and casting shops.
- Mechanical component suppliers for automotive, motorcycle and electronics.
- Shops digitising step by step, starting with a few machines.
